Dayton air show

[timmer]

For those of you attending the dayton air show next weekend, I just viewed (and monitored) the usaf Thunderbirds at the Peoria, Il. air show on the following frequencies.
Four ship 141.075 (am mode)
solos 235.25
ground crews 413.275 (nfm analog)
I didnt have my digital scanner with me but for those of you who have one you might try 413.00 in digital p25 mode. Also search between 413.0 and 415.0 in digital AND nfm analog. They are as good as ever. Enjoy the show.

Also i forgot to add to check between 216.0 and 217.0 in nfm mode for some interesting com cart communications. enjoy.

Saw them over the 4th at Battle Creek, MI. Excellent show. Same frequencies were in use.

You may want to look at the Monitoring Times Airshow guide as well: http://monitoringtimes.com/MT_Air_Show_Guide_2009.pdf

And VanHorn's Blog mentions two new freqs that were in use: Milcom Monitoring Post: Late Breaking News: Two New T-Bird VHF Freqs Discovered

139.800 MHz Victor-1
148.850 MHz Victor-2

Driving up Thursday from Nashville, Tn and will be there all weekend. Thr T-birds have been kind of sneaky the past year or so changing up their victor comms for the diamond. I'll defintely try the ground crew freqs. I look forward to it.

No need to 'check'. The frequency usage in this LPRS band has been pretty static.

As per the MT Airshow Guide posted earlier in the thread, the two frequencies are 216.725 and 216.975 in FM mode.The Thunderbirds use Com-Tek equipment to broadcast their show.

Caught the T-Birds coming into KDAY yesterday afternoon. Some casual chat on 141.075 was heard prior to 15 minutes of overflying the field.

I have two rigs running now for this afternoon. I will post again later with other verified freqs. 141.075, as we already know, is a good one. I am not at the airport, so the only freqs. I will catch will be from aircraft.

T-Birds used Uniform 1 (235.25) and Uniform 2 322.95) as they flew around today. 322.95 was used primarily for scouting out landmarks and turn points for the upcoming shows.

Some NEW Dayton Approach Frequencies to listen to:

118.425, 352.050, 269.275
